What is Fecal
Incontinence?
Fecal incontinence also known as bowel incontinence is the
inability to control bowel movements. In this condition, the stool or feces
leak involuntary from the rectum. Fecal incontinence may vary from person to
person. Some people feel the urgency to visit the toilet,
and if they are unable to reach the toilet in time, the incontinence occurs.
• Some of the
common reasons that can cause fecal incontinence are:
• Diarrhea
• Muscle/Nerve
damage due to aging or while delivering a baby
Whatever the reason, fecal incontinence can be an awkward
situation for anyone. However, the best way to deal with incontinence is to
consult a good colorectal surgeon who can suggest the right treatment for your
fecal incontinence.
